RE: (meteorobs) Comets hit Spain?
There is an interesting story in today's Daily Telegraph (UK) about a
Boeing 747 that drifted off course due to a frozen control linkage. When it
was examined they found the drain from the Galley Sink had fractured and
the water had frozen. This could be a source of 'White Water'.
I also note in the February Edition of Astronomy Now that Robert Mutel &
John Fix of the University of Alabama have failed to find any evidence that
the small comets proposed by Louis Frank exist.

Yes, some of the ice chunks that fell are on the approach path to
some of
the most big (or used) spanish airports. One of the first chunks fell when
a
aircraft was near the point of collision.

From other reports of aircraft waste it's usually blue due to the chemicals
used. However there is nothing to stop quite large lumps of ice falling off
aircraft when they lower the under carriage for landing. DO we know if this
was near the approach path to an airfield ?

that
this ice was 'normal/water' -coloured instead of ' waste ' -coloured.
At that time they only reported the one piece coming down.<<
